How hard are the potty patches to clean? It looks like it would be harder to get the poo off cleanly.

Carol, thanks for the fire hydrant hint. I may try that. Rose, I also waffled a bit on the potty patch because of the expense but eventually bought one. It's been worth it for me, Elmo used it almost immediately and has not poo'd anywhere else in the house since. I did place it on the spot where he had previously poo'd a few times, maybe that helped but in any event - he decided that's where to go when he must go inside (I also take him outside as often as possible) and has not deviated from that. Peeing...that's another issue. He rarely pees on the potty patch, for some no doubt dog logical reason. I have a training pad somewhat near the potty patch and just this week, he has pretty consistently been peeing on that. Maybe Carol's fire hydrant will help solidify that for him. This was not how I originally planned my guest bedroom to be outfitted. Snort. -Beth "It's just a moment, this time will pass."

I have 10 chi's plus I house fosters until they are placed and all go outside in good weather but mostly they use wee pads. I bought trays for them to keep the younger ones from playing with them. I also bought a treated fire hydrant from pets.com <http://pets.com/> or Dr foster to put on one pad. It is treat with an attractant and cost less than $20 with shipping. Lets the boy hike without using my furniture!!! Good luck\Carol Anne and Crew
